and drawings. I am always finding something interesting in it.
I have a new vegetable garden I have been growing on the
balcony since March 1993. On this same balcony I used to
grow geraniums and roses. I am very proud of my tomato
plants.
Arina: daughter, Nadja. Also, the bag I took when I left
Otes. The bag contains my jewels, medicine, and valuable
papers such as family birth certificates, identification papers,
medical prescriptions, letters from my little cousin who lives in
Croatia, and a photograph I keep secretly. This bag is always
ready for another sudden departure, as it was when I left Otes.
Nedzad: daughter, Nadja.
Nadja: Neither Nadja nor her parents can say. Anything is a
game for her in the house: the clock, Lokman's old stethoscope.
Her favorite and newest doll is the biggest handmade one.
She calls the smallest one Barbie.
16. What other possessions would you like to acquire?
Arina and Nedzad would like to be able to start all over again.
We don't know where, but we would like to get back to the
normal life we had before: a job, living in our own house, with
modern furniture (TV, video, and stereo ) and one more child.
17. What do you perceive as the signs of success?
The biggest success for Arina would be to have a new shop
where housewives could find everything they need for
their houses.
21. Describe the kinds of clothing each family member owns.
Arina left Otes wearing blue jeans, a pullover, a warm coat,
and a pair of sports shoes. Nothing more. All the new clothes
were given to me by a girlfriend. I also bought a blue silk shirt
at the black market and exchanged two sweaters for a red wool
outfit.
22. Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms: Are they available and what
family members use them?
Lokman doesn't smoke, but he does drink brandy. Even
though she's sick, Nafja smokes a lot, and doesn't want to quit,
saying that it's one of the only pleasures she has in this hard
life. Arina doesn't drink alcohol, and won't smoke cigarettes in
front of Lokman who doesn't want her to smoke. Nedzad
doesn't drink or smoke.
